A great source for a steadily growing income is dividend growth. The best income growth stocks are Dividend Champions. Those companies raised dividend payments over a period of more than 25 consecutive years and have built a huge trust basis to long-term investors.

Stock prices rose faster than some companies’ hiked dividends. As a result, the yield plunges. As of now, only 13 stocks with a very long dividend growth history have a current yield over 4 percent and only two of them have a current buy or better rating.
Here are my favorite stocks:
